I'm writing this from the Portland International Airport, where I'm on standby for the next flight to Dallas / home.  Beta was admitted to the hospital around 3AM CDT today because she was having trouble breathing (she's been battling strep all week).  At last report she was doing much better, but she's still under observation.  Your thoughts and prayers for her speedy recovery (and my speedy return home) are greatly appreciated.  I promise I'll post about last night's roller derby in due time, but right now my brain is a little fried.  I hope you'll understand.
